I like Cicely, Jocelyn, Hester and Corinna best. Especially Cicely.

I like Ramona but it's too similar to Rowan.

The classical/Latinate names like Calista, Allegra and Ariadne are nice but I'm not sure they go with Rowan.

How about Hebe?

I love Hebe but DH says it's not a name, it's a silly noise! Nobody but me likes Farrah.
